Author: Craig Ferguson

Craig Ferguson is a Scottish American comedian, actor, novelist, and television host. Riding the Elephant gathers loosely connected personal essays. The pieces move among Scotland, entertainment, fatherhood, aging, and his ten years hosting The Late Late Show. Penguin presents the expanded title as Riding the Elephant: A Memoir of Altercations, Humiliations, Hallucinations, and Observations. Ferguson also wrote the novel Between the Bridge and the River and the memoir American on Purpose. His conversational prose lets the collection shift between comic timing and quieter reflection.
